Great PLAYING at New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS, June 15.-Tne base ball
park to-day was no place for man with
heart disease, for the game was the most
exciting and hardest fought of the season.
Ewing and Black both pitched effectively
and were well backed up at critical points.
New Orleans got on to Black in the first
inning. Campau hit a home run to the
right field seat, the crowd losing the ball.
Cartwright made a single and McVey a
three-bagger, which. added to Andrews
errors, only yielded two runs. Memphis
tied the score in the sixth inning on Forces
double, sacrifices by McAleer and Crotty,
and singles by Black and McKeogh. New
Orleans made the winning run in the
seventh, Campau reaching first on a tumble
by Andrews, stole second, reached third on
a passed ball and scored on Powell's hit
through third.
In the ninth Memphis had two men on
bases and nobody out, but McKeogh was put
out for turning the wrong way at first.
Black was forced out and Smith struck out,
Memphis kicking against the decisions.
Force and McKeogh played great infield
game. Blacks watching of bases was a
feature Vaughn's catching was the feature
for New Orleans The locals left for Biz
mingham tonight. Memphis goes home by
steamboat tomorrow. Geiss, local second
baseman, is crippled and did not play. I'm
pire Skinner complains that he was badly
treated by President Morrow i'll being re-
leased without any protests against him.

LEeGRTT,s FATE SEALED.
The Governor Refuses to Interfere
Tho Execution To-Morrow.

The Execution Tomorrow.
William Clifton ESQ, returned from At
lanta yesterday morning. His mission there
was to lay before the Governor the papers
in the Leggett murder case, and if possible
to secure a Communication of the condemned
mans sentence to imprisonment for life.
The Governor was out of the city when
Mr.. Clifton reached the capital and did not
return until yesterday. The papers were
fled at the Executive office, and after wait
ing two days TO see the Governor Mr. Cliff
ton returned to Savannah having ex-
hausted the last measure in I.eggett's
behalf. Last night he received a
telegram from Secretary Nesbitt of
the Executive Department, saying
that the Governor refused to commute Leg
gettS sentence. He had gone over the pa
pers carefully, but decided that there was
nothing to warrant his interference.
Leggett'S last hope is now gone and he
will hang tomorrow. Just before he left
here for Atlanta, Mr.. Clifton wrote the
condemned man, telling him that he would
do all he could for him, but
that he must not hope for much. Leggett's
reprieve expires tonight. Eleven O'Clock to-
morrow is the hour fixed for his execution.
Sheriff Adamson had every preparation
made when the condemned mans reprieve
came month ago, so there is nothing to do
but to await the hour of the execution.
Mr.. Clifton has used every effort in Leg
gets behalf, believing that he was irrespon-
sible for the crime which he committed, but
the last measure has failed and nothing now
remains but to await the execution of the
death penalty

THE WATER SUPPLY.
The Necessity for Reservoir at the
Water Works.

me Necessity for Reservoir at the
Water Works.
The work on the new artesian wells at the
water works is being pushed as rapidly as it
well can be. There is still a good deal of
complaint about the lack Of pressure in the
city The water works officials say that
they are doing their best, however, to
furnish an adequate supply.
The artesian water is now drawn direct
from the, wells. 1t is impregnated with gas
and being led at once into the mains with
out any opportunity for the gas to escape the
pumping is seriously interfered with. The
Water Works Committee is considering the
building of a reservoir into which the water
will be led from the wells and thence pumped
into the mains. Aside from the gas theory
the water supply from the wells is yet in
sufficient, and the force required to carry
the water from the bottom Of the wells
through the pumps diminishes the pressure
in the city. Several breaks in the pump
ing machinery have occurred during
the past two or three weeks attributed to
the gas which collects in the pipes
The building of "A standpipe similar to those
in several large cities at the North has
been suggested, but its great cost necessi-
tated the abandoning of the idea. 1t was
estimated that a stand pipe high enough to
force the water through the city would cost
not less than $l75,000 The old reservoir in
Franklin square has not been used since the
new system was started.

A Young Savannah Actors Success.

The MORNING NEWS copies from a San
Francisco exchange the following opinions
anent the performance of Mr.. James Neil
in the juvenile part in "Held by the Enc
my" recently produced with great success
at the Baldwin Theatre in that city:
The cast throughout was excellent.
Among those worthy of special praise was
Mr.. Nell. The 'Southerner, presented by
Mr.. Neill, was not the usual stage charac-
terization, sallow, long haired and angular,
but fiery, impetuous, commanding soul,
undaunted by his desperate surroundings
and winning by his manliness and out
spoken courage the admiration even of his
enemies"
Mr. Neill's engagement with "Held by the
Enemy ends on July "A. He will leave on
July p for Savannah, where, with Mrs.
Neill, he will remain one week before be-
ginning the season on Aug. 20 with Erred
Brytons Forgiven Company" For this
company Mr.. and Mrs. Neill are both en-
gagged

TALL HATS.
The Tn eatre is Not the Place to Wear

Them.
Editor Morning Ne,Cs: When you so
aptly suggested in your issue of June 0,
That the ladies should attend the per-
Torrance Of the Fords without their hats"
| thought it an admirable idea and was sure
that nearly every lady would adopt it, and
was surprised to see so many ladies and
young girls with hats and bonnets, large
and small, towering bows and waving
plumes, completely hiding everything III
front of the wearers, and surely shutting
out all chance of seeing stage or actors by
the unfortunateS who sat behind
said hats After having nearly dis
located my neck in Intellectual
attempts to see, gave up in despair, and
contented myself with hearing the play.
| looked about me and found there were
about a dozen or more sweet-looking young
ladies who had very sensibiy left their hats
off for the evening. ! am sure it was much
appreciated by the parties who sat behind
them. Everyone knows how highly hat
covered with feathers, flowers ribbons and
lace is admired by the average young lady.
| might even admit that a fair share Of
older ladies are not entirely Indifferent to
handsome hat or bonnet, and | can under
stand how such one can wear hat
of the height speak of to church,
for there, there is only the hat to be seen,
and it really makes very little difference
whether it be tall or short, broad or narrow,
so it is not so hideously ugly that it makes
one forget the minister, sermon and every
thing else in the universe except the hat
But cannot comprehend how one, be she
old or young, pretty or plain, can wear
hat to the theatre Tor other place of the
kind that looks more like an inverted
bushel basket stuck full of feathers than like
a hat l have still one in my thoughts
that looked as if the wearer in some
unlucky moment had laid it upon
a chair with its feathers and flowers and
some other unfortunate had sat down on it.
AS there a few of this kind to be seen on the
streets of the city, your readers will prob
ably recognize them by my description.
There are always people who go to any
place of amusement, who do not care
whether any one else sees anything or not,
50 they have a good view. This class gen
orally are successful in making every one
around them more or less uncomfortable,
and they very complacently enjoy the dis
comforts of their neighbors. Now,
those ladies who prefer to wear some
kind of a hat or covering
for the head, might wear a small bonnet or
headdress, which would be much more COM
Portable and appropriate for evening. where
there is an audience. Your suggestion is a
good one, and worthy the thoughtful con-
sideration of all who hereafter attend the
summer entertainments. If they adopt it,
feel satisfied they will receive the thanks
of a grateful public AN OBSERVER.
